Fir Park Rideout - 21 July 2013

Seven members of Lincs Wings riding three GL1800s, three Trikes and a GL1500, met at The Transport Cafe, Caenby Corner in the morning of Sunday 21st July. Some were tempted by the breakfast menu whilst others had stopped on route, at Barneys Cafe, for a full fry up.  Setting off at 10am prompt, the convoy was led by Ron/Dee followed by Larry (our ex Chairman - nice to see him), Ray/Sue, Alan/Joan, new members Peter/Carole, Trevor and Marion, with Mark/Debbie once again "Tailend Charlie" (thanks) . The direct route for Fir Park is just 9.5 miles but Ron and Dee had planned a much more interesting, and longer, route totalling almost 58 miles. Travelling, on B roads to the South bank of the Humber via Kirton Lindsey, then past the very scenic Humber River and Reeds Island and to most riders' surprise, left onto the Humber Bridge which is now toll free for motorcycles and trikes (although some trike riders were furiously search for some change for the toll).  Over the bridge and around the roundabout on the North bank to return southwards via the bridge, much to the amazement of some bikers parked in the bridge lay-by. The journey was completed via Brigg, Howsham and onto the Fir Park Wings and Wheels event.  Refreshment and food was enthusiastically devoured by the members before some left for even further riding. a pleasant day out with something different and unusual.
